Every complete chicken dinner includes handmade biscuits, side salad, choice of cabbage or cherry rhubarb, three pieces of fried chicken, and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy. For dessert: your choice of boysenberry pie or boysenberry sherbet. Many other dishes are also available including grilled chicken, salads, and a number of appetizers.

The food was great. The service was not what we are used to from Bubba Gumps. The sheets hardly stopped when the sign said Stop Forrest Stop. We did not see our server much and actually had other servers, who I think was the manager, help us. They didn't do the movie trivia game with us, and maybe this place doesn't do it. It was just an okay experience but not what we've experienced and we dine at the one frequently in the San Francisco Pier 39 area.

Food and service were great however the noise level in the restaurant was so high that I couldn't hear the person across the table. Don't go here for a business dinner, it is much too loud.
